Well if you're ever in a tight spot
And all the things around you are gettin' hot
Come to me and I can cool you off
And if you ever get yourself in a jam
And if you ever feel you need to find a man
Call my number and, darling, you found one

But I know now, it can never work out
The way I really wished that it would
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all

And the walls get a little closer
And my throat gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all

If you got the feeling it ain't right tonight
And if the fire at home ain't as hot as you like
I've got a fire that's burning for you
And if you ever feel you need to get away
To get away from the rest of your life
I'll come a-runnin' and show you the world
